Vintage Porcelain Child's Tea Set
This is a comprehensive vintage miniature or child's porcelain tea set featuring a classic white glaze with a pink border accented by a thin black or dark grey pinstripe. The set displays a central floral motif consisting of pink blossoms and grey foliage. It includes a teapot with lid, a double-handled sugar bowl with lid, a cream pitcher, an oval serving platter, a lidded casserole or vegetable dish, multiple teacups, several small plates, and saucers. The construction is typical of mid-20th-century toy porcelain, likely of Japanese origin (often marked 'Made in Occupied Japan' or simply 'Japan' from the 1940s-1950s). The shapes are angular and stylized, consistent with late Art Deco or mid-century aesthetic influences. Notable condition issues are visible: one saucer has a significant brown fracture or repair line running across the diameter, and there is visible shelf wear on the footed bases. The glaze appears consistent, though some pieces show slight fading of the transfer-ware floral pattern. This set represents a high level of detail for a child's toy, featuring delicate handles and matching lids for all service vessels.
